After examining slavery what surprised me the most was that once the slaves were kidnapped they had no say for their lives. They were no longer free.

One thing that surprised me was the large number of slaves that were brought to so many countries. As well as the terrible conditions slaves had. Including the way that they waited to be put on ships, their journey on the trips, and what they had to go through once they had arrived.

After examining slavery the thing that surprised me the most was that Africans were often kidnapped and were enslaved. Another thing that surprised me was that enslaved Africans were put onto small cargo ships that were only about 3 ft. tall and there were many of them crammed into a small area. Lastly, I was also surprised that even though slavery was made illegal there were still boat routes that carried slaves to the United States, and no one was doing anything to directly stop it.

What was shocking was the terrible way that they were "advertised" to be sold, like they were some lesser kind of animal, along with the information that some of the kidnappers could've once been the people who were being enslaved.

The thing that shocked me the most is that how badly the slaves were treated in the in the americas and wherever they went. They were treated like objects that had no rights and could be sold as if humans had a price tag. Another thing that shocked me is how african americans were trading their own people to the other countries for money. Those were the true dark ages.

After examining slavery it was shocking how much people thought of Africans as less than human. It was shocking how many Africans were continually stolen from their homes and enslaved. By examining slavery I saw how much people disregarded how cruel their acts were and continued to trade slaves for so many years. It was shocking to see how much cruelty they faced and how nobody saw the wrong in it.

I was surprised that many slaves were actually taken to south america. For a long time I had assumed that the majority of them were brought to the United States or somewhere in the U.K. I was also shocked at the amount of people who were taken from Africa. I had thought the number was much smaller before examining slavery.

What shocked me was the treatment the slaves received. They were forced to reproduce, sold off to owners, crowded into ships, and were constantly tortured. People treated them like they were easily disposable, and this was seen as a normal, everyday thing to happen.

After examining slavery, one of the things that had shocked me the most would've been the way slaves kept in the Middle Passageway would commit sucicide in beliefs that their souls would return to their home. They were so desperate to escape their situation that they deemed taking their own life as the best choice.

Something that shocked me the most, is the lack of regard for the slaves. The people who sold their own people, from the owners who treated them worse than livestock. And that a whole lot of people, approved of this, and that it took so long for slavery to be abolished.

The main shock factor for me was the amount of slaves sent to the US, which was smaller than other places.

What shocked me the most was how horribly the slaves were treated during this time. It surprised me how they would get rid of them so easily, they would throw them off ships, cut off their ears, force them to dance, force them reproduce, etc. Another thing was how crowded the ships were, they were three and a half inches high and the slaves were all chained together.

The main shock factor for me was the treatment of the newly removed slaves as well as how their own neighbors helped to sell the others to the colonists.

After seeing documents and pictures of slaves and their treatment I was most shocked at how they were treated as commercial products. Slaves were not treated like humans, they had no moral value in society. Slaves were either thrown off ships as disposables once they were dead. Slaves, fearing their owners, died from fear of them by ending themselves. Pregnant women, children, and families were seperated from kidnappers. Some cut off ears while others were malnourished and died of disease from other slaves or during the journey.

What shocked me the most is that while slaves were being transported across the ocean, many of jumped off ships and die from the ocean currents. They would rather die than become enslaved.

After examining slavery the thing that surprised me the most was how many Africans were kidnapped directly from their villages. Their own neighbors or neighboring villages would help sell them to the colonists. By examining slavery I saw how cruel the methods of transportation were and how the people of Africa were treated like animals.

Harshest thing that I have read is how the slaves were taken and where they were taken from. I was shocked to hear that they were kidnapped from their communities and they would never see their family again. To add on to this, the fact that they couldn't do anything about it was terrible to hear.

After going more in depth in slavery, I learned that people in Africa used their own people as slaves and treated them badly just like the others in the other countries did.
